While there's a basic threshold for "Smart", defining a real "smart" person is hard. What metric are you going to use? IQ score? EQ score? income?
group perception? self-perception? All these have advantages and drawbacks.

I'm starting to believe that the smarter you are, the harder it is to be happy with a job or a relationship. At least, the smarter you think you are.

And me, I think I'm pretty damn smart. It gets a little old always feeling like you're two steps ahead in the conversation when I'm in a relationship. I can't help but always feeling underchallenged at work.

I wish someone would come along and convince me that I'm actually stupid. Would make life easier.
